David Tua (49-3-1(42)) has agreed to face the winner of the June 21st heavyweight bout between "Gentleman" Chazz Witherspoon (23-0-0(15)) and Chris "The Nightmare" Arreola (23-0-0(21)). David Tua will still fight a yet-to-be-named fighter on July 21st in Odessa, Ukraine before he faces the winner, but in the next few weeks will we will know the name of the fighter he will face.

Both Arreola and Witherspoon are undefeated fighters who are rising the heavyweight rankings. With a win over either of these fighters, one would expect Tua to be ranked fairly high in at least one of the heavyweight boxing organizations. With that ranking Tua may once again get a crack at the heavyweight crown, and with the power Tua holds in his fists he has a good chance at winning a fight with just his sheer punching ability.
